 She has  recently finished her first composition for a small ensemble. Her vision for music apllies in collectivity of playing, the interplay and sharing of a common artistic ground, so people can register in their bodies and minds life as an endless form of art. History, social struggle, inner perceptions of the imaginary, worksongs and subconscious are her main interestests of research that she wishes to apply in music and in education.
